<p><HR>
Computer Science studies methods of solving problems and processes which manipulate and transform information. It is the science of algorithms their theory, analysis, design, and implementation. As such, it is an interdisciplinary field whose roots are in mathematics and engineering, and with applications to most other academic disciplines. Computer science is a bi-college program, supported jointly by faculty at Haverford and Bryn Mawr.
Haverford offers Computer Science as an Area of Concentration for
majors in <!WA16><a href="http://www.haverford.edu/cmsc/CS-math.html">Mathematics</a> and
<!WA17><a href="http://www.haverford.edu/cmsc/CS-physics.html">Physics</a>.
Students have also done <!WA18><a href="http://www.haverford.edu/cmsc/CS-indep.html">independent majors</a> in Computer Science.
<p>
Haverford's concentration emphasizes foundations and basic principles of information science, rather than engineering or data-processing applications. The College believes this approach to be most consistent with the principles of scientific education in the liberal arts. The aim is to provide students with a base of skills which transcend short-term fashions and fluctuations in computer hardware and software. Some of these skills are mathematical, while others come from the rapidly growing and maturing field of computer science itself.
